THE ILLINOIS sENAToRsH1p.

The death of Gen. LOGAN precipitates
exciting political conditions IN Illinois.
The duty of electing LoGAN's successor d.
wolves upon a legislature which was elected
without any reference to senatorial appoint
ments. The consequence is that the out
look is clouded with uncertainty. There is
no possible chance to foretell upon whose
shoulders LoGAN's mantle will fall There
is no dearth of candidates. The Illinois
prairies are full of them, and the multi
plicity only helps to complicate the situa-
ton. Of course, Gen. OGLEsBY's friends
think that his shoulders are the broadcast
and would most gracefully fit the toga
which awaits a wearer. MI. FARwELL
has waited in patience, 10, these many
years, for the occasion to come when his
fellow citizens would give proper recogni-
ton to his towering abilities, and he doesn't
see why this should not be the appropriate
time. ROBERT LINCOLN relies on the
fame of distinguished ancestor to make
him the most conspicuous figure in Illinois
politics. Judge GREsHAM's late tilt with
MI. GOULD has placed him in favor with
the agricultural constituency. These gen-
tlemen constitute small contingent of the
total candidacy, but they are the most
prominent, and it is more than probable
that the choice will be made from one of
the four we have named.

FEMALE CRIMINALS.

The newspaper discussion growing out
of the reprieve of the New York murderess
Mrs. DRUsE. has been marked by good
deal of sentimental gush relating to the
propriety of eXempting women from tai
punishment. Mrs. DRUsE's repreve was
granted in order to give her friends an op-
portunity to appeal to the legislature for
the passage of a law to exempt women from
the death sentence. A New York paper
calls attention to the fact that such a law
would be in violation of the fourteenth
amendment to the federal constitution,
which prohibits such discrimination be-
tween the sexes. But whether law of
this character would be constitutional OF
unconstitutional, it would be ridiculous
When the commandment Thou shalt not
kip was handed down from Sinai, there
was not word said about it being intended
Tor the government of men exclusively. It
was aimed as directly at the women of
Israel as it was at the male population. II
it is unlawful for women to commit MUIR
der, why should it not be lawful for them
to suffer exactly the same penalties thatare
melted out to men? 1t is true that it doesn't
often occur that woman is hung. There
are two reasons for this. In the first
place, women are not as murderously
inclined as men. They have softer
natures than men, and are not as liable to
become worked up to that degree of fiend-
fshneSs which fills the human heart with
murderous intent In the next place there
prevails among men an innate sense
Of chivalrous respect for the opposite
sex, and it is therefore easier to secure a
Communication of the death sentence in the
case of a condemned woman than in that
of the male murderer who has been SEN
fenced to the gallows. In all states where
sommutation OF the death sentence to i'm
prisonment is permissible, the rule is to
commute in the case of female convicts.
Ohio has never hanged but one woman.
Maryland has had but one case in century.
A woman was never executed in Virginia.
No woman has been hung in Connecticut
since the colonial days. And in all the
other states the sentence has been COM
muted except in cases of exceptional atrocitv.
with the exceptions of Vermont and Penn
sylyania. where they rarely ever commute
In the light of these facts there is no ap-
parent necessity for making legal discrim-
ination in favor of a murderess even if ii
was right to do so. But it is not right. Ii
capital punishment is justifable, it is Just
as much so in the case of female criminal
as one of the other sex. A woman who
willfully and malciously kills another hui
man being deserves the full penalty of the
law. 1t is not right to allow false senti-
mentality to cheat the galiows out of its
dues.

only Davis Democrats up to date.

Davis strength may be as much as IS
votes, but it is believed to be about go.
Senator-Elect SIMPSONS failure TO appear
will not cause much grief in the Davis ranks
It is no longer Banker Lee This removes
all objections 10 him as being capitalist and
monopolist.
There is still a chance for bolt from the
Republican caucus and the election of low
tariff Republican.
McKusick seems to have the bulge on Hos
)es in the way of Endorsements by the Still
water lumbermen.
C. Fl. Bakken. of Godhue county, a candi-
date for enrolling clerk of the house, an.
peared on the scene yesterday.
MIR. Lee has not yet taken the trouble to
deny the allegation that he was Democrat
when first elected to the legislature.
Henry R. Cobb. Park Rapids-A local
option law by counties, if passed by the
legislature, would be approved here.
There is not much talk about Democratic
candidates for legislative berths. But little
interest is taken in the holding of a caucus.
The report has been circulated among the
Scandinavian members of the legislature that
Gov. Davis full name is Cushman Knudson
Davis.
Gov. Davis was almost an exact image of
Ben Butler before he lost the sight of one of
his eyes. and now he resembles him more
than ever.

Representative Fly nm, of Morrison County
Davis will surely have a majority at the

MHSlC IL TIE AIR.

The senatorial contest becomes more and
more interesting every day. and the chances
for Kilkenny squabble more and more
promising. Senator MCMILLAN has ex-
pressed an opinion at last. He doesn't say
what he will do, but he does say what Gov.
DAVIS will not do. He affirms most posi-
lively that Gov. DAVIS will not have a
majority of the caucus. Ordinarily an
assertion of this sort coming from candi-
date would not carry much weight with it,
as every candidate is supposed to be con-
WINGED of his opponents weakness. But
Senator MCMILLAN is a man of few
words, and when he makes an
affirmation there is significance
attached to it. He is not a reckless
talker by any means. When he does speak
he generally knows what he is talking
about. As has been observed. Judge Nc
MILAN has not been conducting brass
band campaign. There has been no bray
ing of trumpets or beating of drums in his
canvass. He has not relied on newspaper
puffs to blow him in. On the contrary he
has preserved NEPoLEoNIc silence, and.
with the wisdom Of an old campaigner, has
kept his eeunselS to himself. Whether he
has figured out a victory for himself or not
10 one can tell; but after making a careful
observation of the line of battle he doesn't
hesitate to say that there is to be no tr-
umphal arch erected for his leading competi-
tor. 1t is possible Judge MCMILLAN has
discovered what has been apparent VI
other observers for while back, that there
is new star arising IN the senatorial firma
ment. 1t is about the size of the Fifth
district congressman. The recent DISPOSE
ton of certain members Of the legislature
to ignore instructions and break away from
DAVIS to join themselves unto the NELSON
column has meaning in it. This indi-
cation of revolt and Senator MCMILLAN's
positive utterances taken together signify
that there is going to be lively time on
the Wabash inside of another week.

HE ATE THEM.

The Minneapolis quail-eater brought his
thirty days struggle with the savory little
bird to close yesterday by winning the
thousanddollar wager. This makes the
fourth instance on record where an indivd-
ual has been able to eat quail each day for
thirty consecutive days. 1t is only in an
invigorating climate, such as we have in
Minnesota. where the digestive organs can
be pitched to the key of G, which is neces-
sary to enable an individual to tackle the
quail problem successfully.

So warm, so sweet, and tawuy as her hair?
Nayi from her hand tonight dared untold

AS we went down the STAIR
She said no word; she did not praise nor

She is so proud, so proud and cold and fair!
All! dear, my love, thy silence did not shame

As we went down the stair.
Thy dark eyes flashed, thy regal robe arrayed
thee
Inqueenly grace and pride beyond compare;
But on thy cheeks a sudden red betrayed

Excited men in frenzy shout;
The sky is all aglare.

The wild alarm bells ring out
Upon the midnight air.
Excited men in frenzy shout;
The sky is all agiare.
From windows white-clad women folk
Protrude their night-capped heads,
And, trembling, watch the fame and smoke
That called them from their beds.
With twenty men to man the rope
The engine trundles by;
Niagara No. LETS hope
The reservoirs not dry.
The ceaseless clangor of the bell,
The clamor of the boys,
The whole excited village tell
The meaning Of the noise.
But soon the glare fades slowly out,
Nia2ara's quenched the flames;
The farmer firemen turn about,
And go back to their danes.
And, as they drain a steaming cup
OF tea, they tell a yarn
Of how the fire fiend gobbled up
The Widow Jones barn.
